No thoughts of leaving: Jatta determined to fight for his place at HSV | OneFootball

In Merlin Polzin's plans, Bakery Jatta plays at most a subordinate role. But the Gambian wants to stay at HSV!

Bakery Jatta is currently experiencing perhaps the most difficult phase of his HSV career. Nevertheless, the longest-serving professional in the squad is not thinking of leaving. Although the club suggested a transfer, the 27-year-old wants to stay and fight against the competition.

However, things are not going well for the winger on the field. He seems inhibited in test matches and training sessions. Even those characteristics that once distinguished him are currently declining. In terms of speed and defensive work, the Gambian is far from reaching his level of past days.

Jatta still hopes for his chance!

As early as last winter, Jatta was first advised to look for a new club. But after a strong preparation, he fought his way back into the starting eleven. However, an injury against 1. FC Köln prematurely ended his second half of the season.

Now, after further talks with the sports management and coach Merlin Polzin, it is clear: Jatta is unlikely to get much playing time in the Bundesliga. A loan would be an option, but so far there are simply no suitable offers.

Despite all setbacks, the crowd favorite wants to stay at HSV anyway. As the Hamburger Abendblatt reports, he hopes to play a role again during the season, should the currently set personnel falter. At the moment, he has to line up on the right wing behind Rayan Philippe and Emir Sahiti.

A transfer is also made difficult by the contract running until 2029, which is more than decently endowed financially. A departure would therefore only be conceivable for Jatta under very specific conditions. The issue is therefore likely to occupy the Red Shorts for several weeks and cause quite a few splits between sporting planning and emotional significance.
